I was at MC the other day and took a look at the open box GPUs. Most them were not great deals (open box 4090s for $1700 e.g.). While standing there I checked their website and saw a Powercolor Hellhound 7900xt listed. I asked the sales person about it and he ran to the back to look for it. Long...

Curious what everyone's most played games are. Luckily WoW hours aren't through Steam so I can avoid the embarrassing amount of hours in that. Even so there are quite a few games in my list that cause me to be a bit disappointed in myself.

5900X - $250 OBO shipped. Underwater it's entire life. Used for about a year until I side-graded to a 5800x3D. Steamdeck - $500 shipped. 64GB model bought brand new this March/April and is in like new condition except for a slight marring on the right side where the case was split to swap...

The Android 12 update for my OnePlus 7t that came out late last year has basically ruined it and at this point I'm tired of dealing with it. I loved the 7t while it lasted and I'd go OnePlus again if not for the fact that the update has ruined all faith I had in them. I was waiting on the Pixel...

I ordered this from Amazon because the Rocket was an extra week or two wait. Turned out to be a WD 740. Works perfectly in the SD so far. https://a.co/d/cTypDWB

https://www.beyondallreason.info/ This is a LOT like my favorite RTS - Total Annihilation. It's the first RTS I remember that took elevation into consideration when using ballistic artillery (up higher - shoot further). You could also use the valleys between the hills to evade detection and...

That's right. This is happening. I'm posting this almost 5 years after its PC release. I've been trying to get into it since I first heard about and ordered Demons Souls PS3 from Korea to have the first english translation (Yes I still have the disc and box) and have failed every time. I've...

Basically the title. I've torn the heatsink off of the card a few times already so the thermal pads are rough/ripped.

Some pretty good deals; I've listed a few below but there are quite a few more. I went ahead and picked up a DA Mini just to try it but I'd pick up the Basilisk V3 for my everyday mouse if I didn't already have the V2. DeathAdder Mini $14.99 -...

Anyone checked this one out? Picked it up during the Steam sale and it's surprisingly enjoyable. It's one of those CCG Roguelites (e.g. Slay the Spire) but with a 3 hero party dynamic and hex-based strategy thrown in. 1) Roguelite Deck Builder (e.g. Slay the Spire) with a party of 3 heroes...

Just trying to get some ideas for replacements for the NZXT fans on my 280mm radiator. The NZXT fans cool well enough but are a bit loud at times and it seems like Noctua fans of the 140mm variety aren't as amazing as their 120mm line. If there are RGB options that would be a plus but not a...

So I've had a NZXT G12 AIO bracket on my 2080ti for a couple of years now. It's been working great and generally still does with gaming but when mining the temp will quickly climb up to 90c (even with underclocking and a 65% power limit). I am using an old Corsair H100 on it and when I shake the...

I've got a 1 year old 2tb Inland Premium m.2 drive that just randomly disappears in Windows until a reboot. I checked MC's website and they mention a 3yr warranty but no info on getting warranty service. I assume I just need to take it to MC and hopefully they'll just swap it out for a new one...

Hey everyone, so I just built a 3700x system and while the synthetic benchmarks are amazing the gaming performance isn't what I expected (with a 2080ti @ 1440p it's anywhere from a bit slower to equal to my old [email protected]). So I'm looking for things that I may need to do to help it stretch...

https://gizmodo.com/oculus-will-now-require-facebook-login-to-use-social-fe-1840376657 Apparently it can be opted out of but I think we all know that that won't last:

Looks like MC raised the price of the 9700k by $30 and dropped the price of the 3700x by $20. As always they take $20 off of a motherboard when bought with the CPU. https://www.microcenter.com/product/608318/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-36ghz-8-core-am4-boxed-processor-with-wraith-prism-cooler

The Steam Lunar Sale has just begun. Honestly it's pretty meh but maybe you'll get lucky and find a decent deal. http://steampowered.com

My Nexus 5x just bit the bullet which means I'm in the market for a new phone. I mainly do standard stuff like Calls, Txts, Hangouts, FB Messenger, Bank Apps, Reddit, and general internet browsing. I don't do mobile games but I'd like something that can open and switch between apps relatively...

To be honest I'm not sure how the Intel Starter Pack works as far as keys so I'll sell them together. I just bought a 7700k and these two games came with it. $60 will get the key for both. If I you can tell me if the key will give me keys for each I might sell each for less.

Windows 10 broke my hacked Realtek drivers that allowed DDLive and DTS encoding over TOSLINK so I'm stuck in stereo. My old ASUS Xonar DGX also won't allow this and I've heard that Creative Labs doesn't have working drivers for their cards in Win10 yet (big surprise). Any suggestions on a...

Basically what the title says. I'm currently using a 60hz 39" Vizio for my Gaming HTPC but am wanting to upgrade to a larger panel (been doing some split screen gaming) that will accept 120hz inputs for when I feel like a match of CS. I've seen that there are a few 4k TVs that will do...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwnSo9bcIyA It's shakycam footage but it looks pretty damn good. Crysis had a great engine that would have been fantastic for an RPG; it's too bad we haven't seen anything until now.

Specs: i7-870 @ 4Ghz, 16GB RAM, Win7 64bit, Diamond 7970 I just grabbed a new reference 7970 and installed the 12.8s and have had a few issues although I haven't tested to see if they're driver related yet. Any ideas? 1) About 50% of the time when playing videos on Youtube my primary...

I saw this on RPS the other day and decided to give it a try. It's basically a client that only has free games ranging from PC classics to indie game to flash games. There's no registration and there are no ads. It already has stuff like Eye of the Beholder, Lemmings, Discworld, One Must...

I have an Intel G2 80GB SSD in my system at the moment and was contemplating upgrading to a 128GB M4. Would there be a noticeable performance difference between the drives in general usage? I'm currently on a P55 board so I'm stuck with SATA2 unless I also bought a card (which I probably...

I can't believe there's been so little talk about it here. Am I the only one looking forward to this? It's easily my favorite new series from this generation of consoles and I've been getting ready by working my way through Uncharted 2 on crushing difficulty. Release date is November 1st...

I recently upgraded from a GTX260 to a GTX560 and ran some benchmarks. After a few days I started getting artifacting even while on the desktop. It could have been a bad card or the 400/500 series motherboard compatibility issues. Since I bought the card at a Micro Center that's an hour and a...

So, I'm about to pull the trigger on a GTX560 to replace the aging GTX260 (core 192) and had a few questions. My motherboard has the following slots: 2 x PCIe x16/x8, 1 x PCIe x4, 1 x PCIe x1 1) Would the 260 function fine for Physx in the x4 slot? (Would put it farther away from the 560...

It's ugly but it's the cheapest I've seen a 560. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187136&cm_re=gtx560-_-14-187-136-_-Product
